Pennsylvania taxes gross table game revenue at 16% and gross slot machine revenue at approximately 55%.
“Since one of the intents of the Gaming Act was to provide a significant source of new revenue, it is certainly gratifying to see this continued increase,” said Board Chairman William H. Ryan, Jr. “The ability of Pennsylvania casinos to offer top-scale amenities and high quality service is certainly a driving factor in the patronage of these entertainment facilities.”
